Hello, this is my first post on the XDA forums! I've recently bought a tablet, the Asus ZenPad z8s (P00J). I'm looking to give this tablet a second life by installing a lightweight version of Android, upgrading in the process. Searching on Google and there isn't much to work with. Looking at other XDA forums there is the ZenPad 8 and that specific tablet has loads of support. Not sure if they can work interchangeably. Any advice? Please let me know. Thank You!
Already running on Android Oreo, the latest available for this tablet?

Hi Guys
I have been following these xda forums for a while now but never registered until now. Please forgive me if this is the wrong section to post this under, any moderators feel free to move if need to, I am fairly new to android, I have an android tablet Asus TF101 and used a guide on here to root. a while back.
After a long wait I have finally gotten a new phone after having an old nokia 5800, well still waiting for it to be delivered, the new Padfone Infinity a86 I have searched and searched for methods to root the device, but can not seem to find any, at least any that seem legitimate does any one know if there is a root method available for it?
Second after looking into and rooting my tablet I would quite like to get into custom roms, but not quite confident in that area yet as I do not have the know how to fix it incase I brick it, Is there any youtube videos/channels anyone can reccomend I can watch. and rom manager is that worth looking at as I did hear some decent things about that.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Kind Regards
Majon.

Rooting für das New Padfone Infinity A86
But This page is in German language.
The tool itself is in chineese, even. But there is only One Button, so no way to be wrong
thank you for reply, i ended up using kingoapp after i read that the threads were reopen because kingoapp had been working with xda
thanks again

For all users, who don't want to use Kingoapp, take a look at this Thread.
Greetings xda forum goers:
As the title suggest I have an Acer Iconia A500 that I purchased a few months back second hand. Well folks I really need your help and I'm at my wits end about this. To cut right to the chase my tab is running Android 3.1 Build Number Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2 and I'd like to update it to something more recent 4.4 or 5 even would be great but I'd gladly settle for 4.0 even as well. I can't update through the tablet as some of you may be aware Acer no longer provides support for this otherwise awesome tablet and attempting to update yields the "Network Coverage is Poor" error. Is there a something I can download and run as a standalone update? Or do I have to root it? I'm a technician but am very much new to roots and not that familiar with tablets in general. Clear instructions and any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you so much!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Everything you need to know about your device is in this section:
Acer Iconia A500
There are several ROMs available in the development section.
Thread closed, thanks.
Hi,
I recently bought an Acer A1-840HD (not the FHD model). As the reviews stated, it does come pre-loaded with a lot of software you can't uninstall. I rooted the device using some instructions in the XDA forums and then uninstalled a bunch of that stuff.
I'd really like to install a clean build of Android 4.4.4 (which is what it ships with) and/or if possible Android Lollipop (maybe not since its still fairly new). While there are a couple of guides to root the device, I couldn't find much in the way of installing a clean OS of any version.
Thanks in advance for any links you can provide!!

Hello, and welcome to XDA! I cannot see any rom for your device here on XDA, but you could try to ask in the discussion forum dedicated to the Acer A1 840HD, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/iconia-tab-8. You will need to register in order to post.
Good luck!
Thank you very much.. I will give that a go!
Hey guys,
I recently bought the cheap, but pretty fast "Dragon Touch X10" from TabletExpress. However, I had some troubles with the Android 4.4 installed and I was thinking to give it a try with a custom ROM. I have to say, I have been reading here for some hours, but I am kind of lost. I realize that most of the tutorials here are speicifically adressing more well-known models like samsung etc.
I think, what I want is something like the "Kangapop", a ROM which is basically like the plain android stock version from google.
Can I find somewhere instructions of how to flash such an unknown model?
Unfortunately, I cannot post the link for this tablet as a new user... The brand is "TabletExpress" and the Model is Dragon Touch X10.
Thanks in advance!
Does anybody have at least a hint where I could read or learn to figure it out by myself? I am a bit overwhelmed with the information out there.
Thanks!

Hello dear,
ROMs is specific for every device model, that means that you can't use rom from other devices for yours. :/
Thank you

Hey, guys. I have an old ASUS Transformer TF101G which is running insanely slow (it's lagging even when I change the page in a boom) , so I decided to root it and install a fresh vanilla Android. The problem is, I'm new to rooting and every tutorial I found on the Web is for TF101 and is not compatible with the G version.
And even if I succeeded in rooting it I have no idea which Android build to install, how, and where to download it from.
So, I'll be extremely thankful if you could help me out. Also, if stock Android is not an option, please recommend me another option.
Thanks in advance,
Spas
